Hi Again, I'm new to building applications by compiling the source in linux.up to now i managed to compile the code without any problem. (I'm using Gnote).I did ./autogen.sh, make , make install. every thing went fine.Good to hear.this may be dumb question.No question is dumb - ask away!i want to know how to run the application after that.I found gnote in /usr/local/bin. is this the one i should run?.Probably yes, though you have two choices. You could run /usr/local/bin/gnote, which is the installed binary and which should definitely work. You'll also find a file src/gnote in the build directory which is actually a shell script that begins with this:#! /bin/bash# gnote - temporary wrapper script for .libs/gnote# Generated by libtool (GNU libtool) 2.4.2 Debian-2.4.2-1.2ubuntu1If you have already installed gnote once, then you can probably run this shell script rather than /usr/local/bin/gnote. You might want to do this so that you don't have to run 'make install' after every build cycle - you can just run src/gnote instead, as long as there are new data files which need to be installed.(I tried to run it by using ./gnote but i got "./gnote: error while loading shared libraries: libgnote-3.9.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" error message)Which directory were you in when you ran ./gnote? I'd be surprised if you saw a binary file 'gnote' in the top-level build directory, since (on my machine at least) building gnote generates a file 'gnote' only in the src subdirectory.I really want to do some coding but i don't know how to test it without running the app (or is there a different way to test the code). If i'm doing things wrong, can some one give the all the steps or give some links for some tutorials.I hope this is enough, but if you have more questions don't hesitate to ask again. Cheers -adam
